OPERATING THE ENGINE
Do not operate the engine at full throttle below peak torque engine
speed (RPM) for more than one minute at a time (peak torque RPM
varies from 1200-1500 RPM depending on engine rated speed).
Monitor the oil pressure and coolant
temperature gauges frequently.
If the gauges indicate any reading is
not in the normal operating range,
stop your vehicle as soon as possible,
shut the engine off and check the
appropriate fluid level. If an
overheating condition starts to occur,
release the throttle pressure or shift
the transmission into a lower gear, or
both, until the temperature returns
to normal operating range.
Continuous operation with low coolant
temperature, below 60ÉC (140ÉF) or
high coolant temperature 100ÉC
(212ÉF) can damage the engine.
Most failures give some kind of early
warning. Look and listen for changes
in performance, sound or engine
appearance that can indicate service
or engine repair is needed. Some
changes to look and/or listen for:
²Engine misfires
²Loss of power
²Sudden changes in engine operating temperature or oil pressure
²Excessive smoke
²Fuel, oil or coolant leaks
²Vibration
²Increased oil or fuel consumption
Excessive full throttle operation below peak torque RPM will shorten
engine life to overhaul and can cause serious engine damage. Operation
of the engine below peak torque RPM can occur during gear shifting due
to difference of gear ratios.

If the steering wanders or pulls
This condition can be caused by any of the following conditions:
²Underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)
²Front end out of alignment
²Total vehicle out of alignment (i.e. rear axle[s] out of alignment with
front axle)
²Improper adjustment in the steering gear
²Vehicle overloaded or unevenly loaded
²High crosswinds
²High crown in center of road
²Components in steering linkage loose or worn
²Wheel bearings improperly adjusted
²Excessive lash in steering shaft or universal joints
If the vehicle steers hard
Hard steering can be caused by any of the following conditions:
²Underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)
²Vehicle overload
²Misalignment of the front tires
²Lack of lubricant in the front spindle bearings or linkage components
²Low oil level in the power steering system
²Broken or loose power steering pump direct drive connection
²Malfunctioning relief valve in power steering gear or steering pump
²Malfunctioning power steering pump
²Restriction in power steering lines
²Improperly set turn stops
²Air entrapped in power steering system fluid
AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The on-highway air suspension system is designed to provide a superior
ride, outstanding driver comfort while minimizing wear on the cab, frame
and payload.
The height control valve automatically keeps the vehicle at a constant
level due to load changes and uneven road surfaces.

Engine oil and filter recommendationsÐCummins B and Caterpillar
3126 B engines
Refer to the appropriate engine operator's manual for information on the
engine oil.
Engine oil and filter recommendationsÐ7.3L Power Stroke engine
To help achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is important
that you:
²Use only engine lubricating oils and oil filters of the proper quality.
²Change the engine oil and filterno laterthan the recommended
service interval. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the
appropriate intervals for changing the engine oil and filter.
²Change your engine oil and filter more frequently if your vehicle
operation includes extended periods of idling or low-speed operation,
driving for a long time in cold temperatures or short driving distances.
Diesel engines require specially formulated oil to resist contamination.
Proper quality oils also provide maximum efficiency of the crankcase
ventilation system which reduces air pollution.
Use Motorcraft motor oil or an equivalent oil meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C171±C or API service category designation CH-4/SJ. Do not use
oils labeled with only one of the category designations SG, SH, SJ, CE,
CF-4, CH-4 or CG-4, as they could cause engine damage.
Diesel engine oils with improved fuel economy properties (energy
conserving) are currently available. If you use an energy conserving oil,
be sure it meets Ford specification WSS-M2C171±C or API service
category designation CH-4/SJ and is of the proper viscosity grade for the
temperature range in which you expect to operate your vehicle. Some
energy conserving oils do not meet the requirements necessary for your
diesel engine.

SERVICING YOUR WHEELS AND TIRES
Wheel assembly
Your vehicle is fitted with hub
piloted wheels and two-element
swiveling lug nuts (20 & 22 mm).
Do not use taper type wheels or ball
seat wheel nuts.
²Do not paint the mating face of the hub/drum.
²Do not paint the two-element swiveling lug nuts or wheel stud.
²Do not allow an excessive thickness of paint to build between the disc
wheel mounting surfaces.
²Do not install disc wheels where the paint has not fully cured.
²At wheel changes, ensure mounting faces are clean and free of rust,
dirt and excess paint.
If fasteners are needed, use only Ford recommended replacement parts.
²To maintain the desired
torque/tension relation between
nut body and flange, it is
necessary to use clean engine oil
meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C153-G between nut body and flange. Lubricate the nut body
and flange any time a wheel is removed.
The M20 & M22 wheel nuts are right-hand threads. Refer to the
following chart for approved wheel lug nut torque.
Wheel type Bolt size Wheel nut torque
10-hole disc
285.75 mm bolt circleM22 (22 by 1.5 mm) 610-677 Nm

The disc wheel nuts on your vehicle were tightened before delivery.
Recheck torque of nuts at 160 km (100 miles) and 800 km (500 miles) of
new vehicle operation or any time a wheel is removed. Reset to
recommended torque levels.

Tire inflation pressure must not exceed the recommendations of
the axle, tire and/or wheel rim manufacturer for the specific
load, speed and application. The inflation pressures on the tire sidewall
do not take the wheel rim capabilities into consideration.
Never use a rim of different manufacture or any different size or
type than original rims.
Try to replace tires in pairs on the same axle shaft. Tires larger or
smaller than originally installed may affect the accuracy of the
speedometer. Consult your dealer about the need to change the switch
setting on the back of the speedometer.
Front wheel alignment
If abnormal tire wear or ride and handling characteristics such as vehicle
lead or wander are experienced with properly inflated tires, the front
end alignment should be checked.
Wheel bearing care
Front and rear wheel bearings are adjustable to correct for bearing and
spindle wear. Long bearing life depends upon proper adjustment and
correct lubrication. If bearings are adjusted too tightly (preloaded) they
will overheat and wear rapidly. Loose adjustment will cause pounding
and will contribute to uneven tire wear, steering difficulties and
inefficient brake operation.
Refer to the Ford Service Manual applicable to your vehicle for proper
tightening procedures and torque specifications.
Periodically check the oil level on oil filled front bearing hubs. If
necessary, add oil through the filler plug so the oil level is between the
ADD and FULL marks indicated on the hub. Do not overfill. Overfilling
can result in oil on brake linings.
Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Guide for fluid level checks and
change intervals for the front hubs.
Your front hubs may be filled with an optional synthetic fluid which
allows use of the extended service intervals. A green colored filler plug
identifies use of the synthetic fluid.

scheduled intervals because they are considered essential to the life and
performance of your vehicle. Ford recommends that you perform
maintenance on all designated items to achieve best vehicle operation.
Scheduled maintenance beyond 160 930 km (100 000 miles) should be
continued as before 160 930 km (100 000 miles).
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If your driving habitsfrequentlyinclude one or more the following
conditions:
²Short trips oflessthan 16 km (ten miles) when outside temperatures
remain below freezing.
²Operating duringhot weatherin stop-and-go ªrush hourº traffic.
²Operating in severe dust conditions.
²Extensive idling, or low speed operation such as door-to-door delivery
